Staff Software Engineer at Third Wave Automation
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJean-francois Dupuis is a Staff Software Engineer in San Francisco with 14 years of deep expertise in robotic motion planning, mechatronics, and automated design. He has led motion-planning efforts at X (Moonshot Factory), Intrinsic and Third Wave Automation, delivering time-optimal, jerk-bounded trajectory algorithms and real-time analytical IK solvers for complex multi-robot workcells. His background blends a PhD in Mechatronics with hands-on production work—optimizing collision checking, swept-volume computations, and kinematics libraries to meet tight duty-cycle requirements. Known for balancing long-horizon research and short-term product delivery, he routinely drives major refactors and defines technical roadmaps while still shipping core algorithms as an individual contributor. An unusual combination of academic rigor and film/creative-robotics experience (Bot & Dolly) gives him a practical knack for turning sophisticated theory into deployable systems.
